The signature of all things  Cover Image Book Book

The signature of all things / Elizabeth Gilbert.

Summary:

"Love, adventure, and discovery are at the heart of The Signature of All Things, which soars across the globe from America to Tahiti to tell the story of a brilliant woman named Alma Whittaker. Born in 1800, the daughter of a charismatic botanical explorer, Alma quickly comes into her own within the world of plants and science. But as her research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man who draws her in the opposite direction--into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Written in the bold, questing spirit of the nineteenth century, Gilbert's spellbinding tale takes the reader to unexpected places as it tells of a remarkable woman with an unquenchable sense of wonder"--Back cover.
